Annoying Gmail texts

[alexgoldstein]

Every time I get an e-mail on my Gmail account, it sends me a text message to my cell phone. Is there ANY way of getting rid of this? I checked my Google alerts and there was nothing there. Help!!! 🙂

Have never gotten text messages from Gmail ... what does the text say? That you have mail?

It's from the number 701.

I replaced phone numbers and e-mails with X's for the sake of the e-mailer haha.

Pretty weird huh? Every time I get an e-mail...and my e-mail already goes to my inbox on my phone, so there's really no need. I really want to get rid of it!

It's from the number 701.

Area code 701? If so, that's Fargo don't cha know! 😉

Haha it's not an area code though! It's just "701". So weird. The thing is I'm selling this phone VERY soon with the account, and if I can't get rid of these alerts, I don't know what I'm going to do!

So you checked under Settings -> Filters as well as Forwarding and POP/IMAP?

 

[alexgoldstein]

yes sir!

Do you have the Gmail for Mobile application on your phone? Can you uninstall it, or at least sign out of it?

 

[alexgoldstein]

I don't. It's a Sidekick, so no 3rd party apps what so ever haha.
